Cirque Du Soleil - Saltimbanco [1992] & Putumayo: CUBA [1999]

This is a bit of a gem for you. My womanfriend who is to remain forever nameless, asked me why I never listened to her CDs. Of course the answer was that I was obsessed with collecting and listening to MP3s having almost forgotten about CDs in general. Well she got this one and told me I might be pleasantly surprised. Hmm...

I already covered the American Indian New Age Bollocks right so don't worry, it isn't that kind of music but some of it might be mistakenly termed 'new age' though it would be wrong. This album is the soundtrack to a live Circus/show which they put on in theatres throughout the world.!
It is a stunning collection of uplifting and relaxing melodies. Some are almost operatic whilst others are electric guitar and a fusion of ambience with rock, if you like.
I am glad I listened to this and couldn't wait to send it to you here.
Don't miss the chance to hear something that stands out amongst the generic crap called music these days.
I wont beg for comments but fucking hell...you know what? I like talking, debating etc and it would be good to hear what you think of this album.
Oh and I'd love to go see the show in theatres. Have a look at the Cirque Du Soleil website and have a look. There is a short film clip there that gives you an idea of what their show is about. It is circus but very contemporary art, with the music and acrobatics and the stunning reviews they get, I am looking out for when they are next in the UK.

I really should point out that I know a lot of this album sounds like spyro gyra or whatever their fucking name is, and yes it has synthesizers too! but I didn't say it was my all time favourite album, just that now that I have heard it, I will probably listen to it now and again... If my womanfriend was to play it every day, it would be perfectly inoffensive to me. I might even enjoy it. Definitely.
Confused?

Enjoy!

I found these direct links to a Putumayo album so, knowing how much people like these I thought I'd post them quickly.
Being direct links, they don't come with the usual tracklist and are not named properly but I'm sure you can work it out yourself.
Just copy and paste the names from the page and rename them manually...
